The plan, which the county and COTA agreed to in May, calls for a pair of four-lane roads on the north side of the circuit, the Austin American-Statesman reports.

“It’s just not worth the cost,” Steve Manilla, the county’s transportation executive, told the Statesman. “Kellam (Lane), for example, was underutilized. Most of the people came in (for the F1 race) from FM 812 side.”

Manilla told the newspaper that officials are mulling adding a new road east of the track.

County commissioners will take up changes to the original contract with COTA today at 9 a.m.
